: Believe it or not in the current issue of The Bulletin Of the Atomic
Scientists
: is an article on stink bombs. The military has developed a substance given
the
: wonderful name "US Government Standard Bathroom Malodor", it's harmless
: but according to a scientist working on the project " It really is quite
pungent,
: more precisely it smells like shit but much, much worse". It's never been
used
: in war but the army people think it could have a devastating psychological
effect,
: it's hard to feel like a epic hero when everything smells like a thousand
people
: just farted on you. It should be especially effective in caves and
trenches. Hmm.
